Skimlinks adds tracking to some, primarily retailers' links, to show they come from this forum. For some retailers, instead of using Skimlinks to turn the link into a tracked link, we use affiliated links set up through other third parties. Then if it generates revenue from that, this site is paid. The links don't change the content, or what you see or track individual data ? but they do help fund this free forum. So we hope you choose to switch it on. See the full Skimlinks factsheet for more.

Apply for the M&S Bank* card via the link by 30 November, and buy anything (even if you just spend 1p) by 31 December, and you'll get a £30 M&S voucher. You'll also get reward points when you spend on the card, plus you'll get 500 bonus points (equivalent to a £5 voucher) the first time you spend in M&S.

I applied for a card in September it turned up 24th October I was out of the country so didn't use it until November. they are now saying they won't give me the voucher as I needed to use it by 31/10/16, a massive 7 days to use it even if I had been in the country. What a con.

I signed up for this deal before the November end date, and made spend in December. I've not heard or received any vouchers from M&S. I've just called up their C&S and they need to confirm that I'm eligible for the offer and will call me back in 48 hours?

I received my card and PIN earlier this week. I've used the card 5 times for small transactions, so I've complied with the 9 April deadline. If all works to plan, I should receive the £30 voucher by 2 May. I'll keep this thread updated.

The deadline for applying under this version of the offer is 28 February (Tuesday), so anyone wanting to apply (via the MSE link) should do so quickly.

I had to email and also send a secure message to M&S Bank via my account to raise this as an issue - I was informed that popularity of the promotion mean that were behind with processing the vouchers, as the vouchers for the period expired on 28th Feb I was issued £30 credit to my CC account together with the 500 bonus points.
I would advise you contact M&S at the earliest if you haven't received your vouchers.

This has worked well. £30 voucher received today (16 March). Can be used online or in-store by 31 May (but must be used in one transaction).

This was the "apply in February" version of the offer. I applied online on 8 February and was approved. After returning signed agreement by post, I received card and PIN around 22/23 February. I used it in 5 small transactions between 24th and 27th February (time limit for use in 5 transactions was 9 April). I've since repaid the balance and locked the card away and won't be using it again.

I was supposed to receive the voucher by 2 May, so I didn't expect to receive it so early. I'll leave a decent interval and then cancel the card.

Just wanted to share my recent experience of applying for one of the MSE offers for the M&S credit card.

I applied on the last day of the previous offer (31 May) and I still don't have a credit card! It is the longest, most drawn out and ridiculous application I've ever made. Any other company would have the card issued within a couple of weeks.

Thankfully they have honoured the cashback since I missed the balance transfer deadline.

The new offer is better so if you're thinking about going for it then make sure to get your application in asap!

How this site works

We think it's important you understand the strengths and limitations of the site. We're a journalistic website and aim to provide the best MoneySaving guides, tips, tools and techniques, but can't guarantee to be perfect, so do note you use the information at your own risk and we can't accept liability if things go wrong.

This info does not constitute financial advice, always do your own research on top to ensure it's right for your specific circumstances and remember we focus on rates not service.

We don't AS a general policy investigate the solvency of companies mentioned (how likely they are to go bust), but there is a risk any company can struggle and it's rarely made public until it's too late (see the section 75 guide for protection tips).

We often link to other websites, but we can't be responsible for their content.

Always remember anyone can post on the MSE forums, so it can be very different from our opinion.

MoneySavingExpert.com is part of the MoneySupermarket Group, but is entirely editorially independent. Its stance of putting consumers first is protected and enshrined in the legally-binding MSE Editorial Code.
